<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chromerunner, post: 2108279, member: 67530&quot;]I recently bought a near complete dansco book of Franklin halves, mostly assembled/complete. Many showed very nice mint set tones of blue/red/gold/purple. Many would have not thought twice about these as they are not super monsters or anything of that nature and the Franklin series seems to be a tad overlooked among most collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I sent the coins to get some photo time from Geekpryde and some went to stldanceartist. (These two do amazing quality work, highly recommended, honest and quick turnarounds.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The photos came out great and I fell for these run of the mill coins with nice color.</p><p>I knew I would show a few out of this lot some love and have them encased in a plastic tomb forever. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have only sent coins to NGC during my short spell in the numismatic hobby. I find their slabs more visually appealing and consider the grades to be a bit more strict on average.&nbsp; Then I recived a email from PCGS that 5 trueviews were being offered. I figured it&nbsp; was about time to join this service as certain coins clearly do better in pcgs plastic and the trueviews were calling my name so why not use that as a excuse!</p><p><br /></p><p>After joining I submitted my order of 5 coins/economy and my free trueviews, please! I settled in for the long haul. I had heard many horror stories of how long PCGS takes for grading. To my surprise I had a mailed notice 8 business days from my received package date...8 DAYS! </p><p><br /></p><p>All coins came in where most said they would.&nbsp; MS64</p><p>All in all I was very surprised and pleased. I will most certainly be a return customer when needed. Although I am still partial to NGC, I found it interesting to have a positive experience posted vs another bashing of a TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>First off I must give massive credit/props/thumbs up/golf clap to Matt aka Geekpryde</b>. After sending this coin in for him to photo he noted the FS-401 Bugs Bunny Features. PCGS agreed and actually just posted the trueview on their coinfacts site!</p><p><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i134/icepritchard/31800015_large_zpsy2uvfjus.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the others in no particular order. Hope you enjoy!</p><p><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i134/icepritchard/31800016_large_zpszzlnufza.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i134/icepritchard/31800017_large_zps0onvn6en.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i134/icepritchard/31800018_large_zpsxdjybzdz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i134/icepritchard/31800019_large_zps20hewkmf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
